Will post New Year's Resolutions and an update tomorrow! Off to the hot tub after celebrating a German New Year in Harmony, PA...on German time. The ball dropped at 6 PM and I was home before the drunks hit the road!

I am sick. Soxy would not leave my side for the week before and during Christmas. I had the stomach virus that was going around and, unlike most, it lasted for over a week, not just 24-48 hours. Soxy was right by my side, no matter where D went, she was with me and if she went after him, he knew something was wrong and he needed to come see me. Now, when D is not home, Soxy is my shadow, but usually I can't get her attention if he is around. She is a very good doctor!

Presents are bought and wrapped
Tree and house are decorated
Sweater is bought for Christmas Eve & Christmas Day
Cards are mailed...finally!!
Snow is falling; weather is too cold
Ham is bought for Christmas morning. I get to host my family's Christmas celebration this year; am excited but sad because I get to host because my Mother has pneumonia and shouldn't be doing anything until she heals completely!

I am still dragging my feet on this holiday assignment. Everything else is pretty much done, but I just can't get motivated to write out my cards. So please post a comment...with email...if you would like to exchange Christmas cards and I will email you so that we can exchange addresses.

It seems like all I do around here anymore is post bulletted lists of updates on life. Once again, that is what I have come to do...

Still working on my proposal...so thought I'd be done by now.

Have the inside of the house completely decorated for Christmas...now if it would quit snowing long enough for me to put up the outside decorations.

Have not even thought about writing up the cards for this year...so you have time to get on the list if you'd like one. Just email me with your address.

All presents that have been purchased and received have been wrapped; still waiting for a few to come in the mail.

Have my 3rd or 4th cold of the season, already...sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Missing D, but he has one more trip this year and then I get him at home until after New Year's.

Spent my Black Friday with my cousin's, as always. Had a great time! Took my niece this year, it was an adventure.

Finished cardiac rehab and felt great; working out with my neighbor once I beat this cold. It hurts to breathe normally, not going to over-exert myself right now.

Soxy is mad at me as the tree is up in her favorite room, and I had to put the baby gate up to keep her out. Not that she would intentionally damage the tree, but her tail has a mind of its own; and she seems to have no control over it.

Spent Thanksgiving with D's family, but stopped at my parents on the way home. It was nice to see everyone.

Mom is really sick, D is out of town, as is my brother, so it is up to my Dad to take care of Mom, check on me, and check on my sister-in-law...as that is what my parents do.

Am making a New Year's Resolution now to blog more than 1x/month!

What is going on with you? How is your holiday shopping and planning coming?

About Me

I am married to the most wonderful man I have ever met. My dog, Soxy, is one of the biggest parts of my life...rescuing her from the pound is one of the best decisions we have ever made! Unfortunately, we lost Soxy to kidney failure in April 2017. However, we have since rescued Pepper in July and we are working through the puppy energy one day at a time. I received my PhD in Rhetoric in 2013. I love my life exactly how it is, except for that missing piece. My family is my world...both the one I was born into and the one I married into.
